I'm excited to be leading a vegetarian cooking class tomorrow from 11 - 1.  I've got 6 recipes - a lot! But want to show my students how easy it can be to get these nutrient dense veggies into their bodies.  I've got to go put away my purchases now and get the kitchen set up.  I'll be posting the recipes on my Finding Fitness in 2012 Facebook page very soon!

We're back from a family spring break to beautiful Sanibel, Florida.  I have to admit, I've been slow to get back into focus.  I've been sucked into emails, clicking on links, getting carried away.  While the laundry is caught up, and the groceries well stocked, my mind has been more focused on parenting and household matters than on my business.  I am excited about my upcoming cooking class and that has been what I have chosen to focus upon.  Narrowing my focus has helped me to achieve at least some, results!

My colleague and health coach, Steve Munn, introduced me to to the health benefits of Meridan Laser Technique, created by Sandi Radomski.  As an EFT Practitioner, I'm very open to the benefits of healing the body by means of energy re-balancing.  This low level cold laser mimics the frequency of a healthy human cell.  When applied, especially to the ears, the body responds by generating matching healthy cells. I purchased the laser with the intention of releasing my seasonal allergies and  those of my son.  Now that I have the workbooks and DVD's I see it can do so much more.  I'm so excited to dive further into this learning.  So far, my laser has been a great addition to my healing repertoire.

I've been enjoying my Ask and It Is Given card deck again.  One that sticks with me is, "A consistent formula gives me consistent results."  I have to say, that actions I've implemented with the start of 2012 haves aligned me in such a way that I am able to support more people on achieving their business and personal transformations.  I feel in the flow of the Universe.  I've been keeping my emotional energy clean with EFT, journaling, affirming, and being very aware.  Try it and see what happens for you.

It feels so good.  Take a moment.  Close your eyes.  Now picture yourself celebrating a big win.  You've closed the deal, got the promotion, or received the bonus.  In your mind's eye, see yourself feeling those feelings of elation, relief and success.  Get tingly.

It's been ages since I've blogged.  I admit, I'm put off by technology and with my website, it takes a few steps to get to this blog page.  Enough to have me put it off.  Lately, I've been re-reading ScreamFree Marriage, by Hal Edward Runkel.  ScreamFree Marriage has been re-published under the title The Self-Centered Marriage.  I read ScreamFree Marriage and trained with Hal on the ScreamFree approach some time age.  I'm a huge fan of ScreamFree Parenting, Hal's first book.  The idea of becoming a calm and confident person, and bringing that forth into all of your relationships is one of the critical messages in his books.  I've got ScreamFree Marriage on my night table because marriage is the joining of 2 ever evolving people.  It is anything but stagnant and certainly something I need to stay fresh on.  One of my favorite quotes from The Self-Centered Marriage is, "The most successful couples are those who continually see themselves as two separate individuals, continually choosing to commingle, overlap, and join their lives."  Would love to know how you are bringing yourself into your marriage.

One of my courses at Integrative Nutrition was on Ayurvedic medicine, lead by Dr. John Douillard.  The course was content rich and I can't wait to share more of this subject with you.  One side point brought up by Dr. Douillard was that many patients tell him they are, "fine" when asked how they feel.  Well, Dr. D shared an acronym for "fine "that I thought tells the story of many people who reply they are "fine."  Here goes:

Freaked out

Insecure

Neurotic

Emotional

Wow!  Now, I challenge you to come up with your own acronym for "Fine."   For me, I came up with:

Fabulous

Intuitive

NOW

Emotional

By NOW I mean, in the moment.  Living in the present.  It's all we've got!  By emotional, I mean - yeah...feeling my emotions and letting them guide me to my best choices and actions.  Share yours with me, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

August 12, 2010  When a bird hits the window, thump, and silently falls onto the grass a wealth of life lessons emerged.  Yesterday morning, we heard the thud upon a family room window.  The dogs went crazy barking at the same spot.  I looked outside to see a tiny bird with it's wings askew, sprawled out in an unnatural position.  After my kids remained unmoved to help, I carefully exited by my front door, so as to keep my dogs at bay.  I grabbed a stick, in case poking this creature would somehow help, and made my way around back.  By this time, little bird had righted himself and his wings were nicely in place.  His eyes were open and busy.  I began using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and tapping on myself at the 10 tapping points.  I was speaking to little bird letting him know how dizzy he must feel, how confused he is right now.  I acknowledged his dismay.  I also looked at my watch, as I was wondering how long I'd be out here (selfish).  Then I began tapping with a more positive influence, after I had duly acknowledged little bird's stress.  Suddenly, he flapped and flew onto a nearby pine.  I was amazed.  This little guy, grey in color with an amazing yellow belly with a zig zag design of grey on top, had made it!  I ran to the side door and pleaded with my daughter to let me in - quickly!  I wanted to grab my camera and capture little bird's beauty.  I got the camera, turned it on inside so as not to startle little bird.  I snuck by the tree and to my surprise, he was waiting there for me.  I took 2 photos, one zoomed in extra close.  Here it is, but, if you want more on the life lessons learned from little bird,  check out my article at  http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Carla_Hugo
